The Menu
Wood-Fired Pizzas
La Farina's pizzas are the star of the menu — traditional Italian-style bases loaded with fresh toppings and baked in a scorching wood-fired oven. From classic Margherita to creative seasonal specials, there's something for every palate.
Handmade Pasta
The pasta is made fresh in-house and served with rich, flavourful sauces. Whether you prefer a silky carbonara, a hearty bolognese, or a lighter aglio e olio, the care and quality in every dish shines through.
Antipasti & Desserts
Start with a shared antipasto board or bruschetta, and finish with a classic Italian dessert like tiramisu or panna cotta. The wine list features a good selection of Italian and New Zealand drops to complement your meal.
